What is the Rosedale market doing right now?

Rosedale prices are up from a year ago, and sellers are getting closer to their asking prices. Over the last 12 months, 134 homes sold at a median of $1,056,000, up 8.4% from $974,000 the year before, on 116 sales.

Homes are moving faster. The median home went under contract in 43 days, down from 46.5 days. The typical home sold for 94.1% of its original list price, up from 92.3%. The share of sold homes that had a price cut dropped from 51% to 46%.

With 39 homes for sale and about 11.2 sales a month, Rosedale has 3.5 months of supply. That is a balanced market: buyers have room to negotiate on homes that launched high, and homes priced to the recent sales tend to go quickly.

What does a home in Rosedale cost?

The median Rosedale sale over the last year was $1,056,000. Single-family houses, 84 of the 134 sales, sold for a median of $1,150,000. Condos, 48 sales, sold for a median of $932,500, and the two townhome sales had a median of $1,194,995.

Rosedale condos are not what the word usually suggests. The condos that sold had a median build year of 2019 and a median of 2,563 square feet, larger than the houses that sold, which had a median build year of 1954 and 2,248 square feet. In central Austin, many new homes are built two to a lot and sold under a condominium regime. Of the 84 houses sold, 48 were built before 1960 and 24 in 2010 or later. The median home for sale today is listed at $1,113,273, and the most expensive active listing is $2,600,000.

How fast do Rosedale homes sell?

The median Rosedale home took 43 days from listing to contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so a relisted home is not reset to zero. 46% of the homes that sold had cut their price at least once, and the typical sale closed at 94.1% of the original list price.

For sellers, the practical read is that the first price does the work. Homes that launch in line with the recent sales go under contract inside the median, and homes that launch above them tend to sit, cut, and sell for less than a well-priced launch would have brought.

Where is Rosedale?

Rosedale is a central Austin neighborhood north of West 35th Street, between MoPac (Loop 1) and Burnet Road. It spans the 78756 and 78731 ZIP codes and is about 10 minutes from downtown, with Ramsey Park inside the neighborhood and the Shoal Creek greenbelt close by.

How we read these numbers

These figures are residential closed sales (single-family, condo and townhome) from the ACTRIS MLS whose location falls inside the Rosedale boundary. Leases and sales under $40,000 are excluded. The current period is the 12 months ending September 27, 2026, compared with the 12 months before it. Days on market are cumulative. Sale price vs. original list is a median, and active counts include houses, condos and townhomes only, so the live search, which also shows land and multifamily, can list more. We publish neighborhood totals only, never an individual home's sale price.

Rosedale questions, answered

What is the median home price in Rosedale, Austin?

The median Rosedale home sold for $1,056,000 over the 12 months ending September 2026, across 134 residential sales in the ACTRIS MLS. That is up 8.4% from $974,000 the year before. The median home for sale today is listed at $1,113,273. Because Rosedale mixes 1950s houses with new construction, the right number for a specific home comes from recent sales of the same age, type and size nearby.

Why do Rosedale condos cost almost as much as houses?

Because most of them are new homes. Over the last 12 months, 48 Rosedale condos sold for a median of $932,500, against $1,150,000 for 84 single-family houses. The condos that sold had a median build year of 2019 and a median of 2,563 square feet, while the houses had a median build year of 1954 and 2,248 square feet. Many are new homes built two to a lot under a condominium regime, so read the condo declaration and shared-cost terms before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy in Rosedale?

Rosedale is in a balanced market, with about 3.5 months of supply as of September 2026. 46% of homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 94.1% of its original list price. Homes priced in line with the market still move within the 43-day median. Negotiating room depends on how the specific home was priced, not on the neighborhood as a whole.

Is Rosedale more expensive than Allandale or Brentwood?

Measured the same way over the same 12 months, Rosedale had a median sale of $1,056,000 across 134 sales, compared with $925,000 across 121 sales in Allandale and $664,000 across 113 sales in Brentwood. Rosedale's number is lifted by its many new condo-regime homes. Comparing neighborhoods fairly means comparing the same home type, age and size. Ask us for a side-by-side on the specific homes you are weighing and we will pull the matching sales.

How do I buy a home in Rosedale?

Start with financing: the median Rosedale house sold for $1,150,000, above conforming loan limits, so many buyers need a jumbo approval. Set up a saved search inside the Rosedale boundary so new listings reach you the day they list. About 6 in 10 houses that sold were built before 1960, so budget for foundation, sewer line and tree inspections, and for a newer condo-regime home, read the declaration and any shared-cost terms first.

What is the most common mistake sellers make in Rosedale?

Launching above the recent sales. Over the last year, 46% of Rosedale homes that sold had cut their price, and the typical home closed at 94.1% of its original list price. The homes that sold fastest launched in line with comparable sales nearby, of the same type and size. Pricing an older house off new-construction sales nearby is the most common version of this mistake. A home that sits and cuts usually ends up below the price a well-set launch would have brought.

Do new houses in Rosedale sell for much more than older ones?

Yes, by a wide margin. Of the 84 Rosedale houses that sold over the last 12 months, the 48 built before 1960 had a median of $880,000, while the 24 built in 2010 or later had a median of $1,970,000, more than double. That is why a neighborhood median says little about any one house. Price an older home against other older homes, and a new build against other new builds, on nearby streets.

How long does it take to sell a house in Rosedale?

The median Rosedale home took 43 days to go under contract over the last 12 months, counted on cumulative days on market so relisted homes are not reset. That is faster than the year before, when the median was 46.5 days. Add roughly 30 to 45 days from contract to closing. A home priced in line with recent sales on launch day usually beats the median; one that needs a price cut usually takes several months longer.

What ZIP code is Rosedale in?

Rosedale spans two ZIP codes. Of the 134 sales inside the neighborhood boundary over the last year, 98 were in 78731, with a median of $1,092,500, and 35 were in 78756, with a median of $975,000. One sale carried a 78703 address. Both ZIP codes also cover other neighborhoods, so the figures on this page are calculated only from sales inside the Rosedale boundary, not the ZIP codes as a whole.

How do I find out what my Rosedale home is worth?

Request a home value from us and we will price it against the Rosedale sales that actually match it: same home type, similar size, age and condition, and nearby streets, from the last 12 months of ACTRIS MLS closings. For context, the neighborhood median was $1,056,000 across 134 sales, and the typical home closed at 94.1% of its original list price. The spread between older houses and new condo-regime homes here is wide, so an online estimate that cannot see age and condition is often far off.
